This film is
great! It's a classic! Indeed the music at the begining of the film has
become a classic of horror films (Modest Mussorgsky's Night on a bald mountain). The writer is the autor of Psycho.
For me just
the first and the last story are the best, the third one is not bad too.
In
the first one, a man and his lover plan the murder of his wife, and
once the infamy accomplished, she's cut into pieces and wraped up...
but the pieces are there to claim revenge.
The
second tale wasn't as good as the others, but at least it has the great
Peter Cushing as an esoteric fan. The story is about a tailor who has
to make a strange suit which can give life to the death.
The
third one is about a confused young woman who can't stop her imaginary
friend to kill everybody.
The
fourth and last tale is about a scientist who makes little dolls with
human faces and thinks he can give them life with his own mind.
In
fact it isn't a horror film, but let's try to watch it alone, in the
dark... and you'll see if it isn't a thriller!
